Q&A:
Q: What makes this “super” unofficial?
A: Past “unofficial defcon shoots” had many amenities like water, eyes, ears, tables, canopies, etc. This year has none of that, you get to stand on dirt under the desert sun and shoot your own guns/ammo. If you need ANYTHING, you have to bring it or buy it from Pro Gun (like a cooler of water, sunscreen, tables, etc).
Q: How much does it cost to show up?
A: Nothing, but only the range rental is covered. If you want to shoot someone else’s gun you should probably bring factory ammo or have money to buy their ammo and rent their gun. What that costs is up to each individual gun owner, or maybe they won’t rent at all, it is up to them. Ammo is particularly expensive right now, and most people fly their guns out which is not easy.
Q: I've never shot a gun before, can I come?
A: Yep. People are generally welcoming to new shooters, just make it clear that you need instruction when asking about renting from anyone.
Q: Can I rent machine guns from Pro Gun directly?
A: Probably, I suspect they’ll have a better selection but they might be more expensive.
Q: What amenities are on site?
A: Pro Gun has a clubhouse a few hundred feet away that has bathrooms, and they sell water/Gatorade/soda, light snacks, common ammo, and probably eyes and ears (but you should bring your own).
Q: What guns can I shoot?
A: Anything up to 50 BMG, including full auto.
Q: What targets can I shoot?
A: We can bring our own steel, or if you have target stands for paper targets. No trash/furniture/appliances.
Q: How do I get there?
A: Drive or take a cab/lyft/uber. It is 35 minutes away from the Paris Casino, so it isn't that bad. Reach out to others on slack or reply to carpool.
Q: How do I sign up?
A: Send me a PM here, or on slack or twitter so I have an estimate of how many people are showing up. The two ranges we have fit around 30 people. If we get more than that we can cycle the shooters. Also the range next to us (range 4) is currently open if you want to rent that out yourself (for $200 from Pro Gun).
Q: What do I do when I show up?
A: Go into the club house, tell them you’re part of the “defcon group” and sign their waiver.
There isn't a sub-forum for the shoot this year, so unless you are on slack you should probably reply to this thread for all discussion related to this event.
